Thanks for the link and the info- the Rapides aren’t on there though🫡

Great work! The NATO joke also made me laugh! 🫡

Hi all spotted this in SAM this month- need to me but several reboxings of the Aeroclub kit planned with new decals. have checked the forum but no prior mention I could see. Couldn’t find a website so Scalemates will have to do- no price either yet. https://www.scalemates.com/brands/air-craft-models--14145 TT

Beaut scheme!🫡 TT

I used to have this kit and it was a basic snap together model with the work you’ve done this is truly excellent! ’🫡

There’s a miniature Skellen for The Final Option 🧥

The Sywell Aviation Museum opens for its 2024 season this Saturday between 1030-1630 classic/military vehicles, re-enactors and visiting aircraft…. And it’s all free…. also Models for Sale, Falcon Models, Akari Models, Chris Mitchell Models and the Museum Book and Model stall will be there… it’s a one day only event following which the museum is open each weekend and bank holiday 1030-1630 until the end of September. hope some of you can make it!

Sort of a Firefly vibe going on there- love it!

Hooray! I need an Audax!

Thanks very much chaps TT

I don't know how to break this to you FS, but most of the aircraft have been dispersed from the BOB hall, most is now touchy feely stuff, they even reduced the float struts on the Sunderland so the cafe would fit. Others may disagree of course, but IMHO there is a huge amount of wasted space and it isnt what it was - also they have disposed of a lot of aircraft - eg the B-25 'wasn't relevant to the RAF'. I'll stop there or I will kick the cat. TT

I suppose it could be misdirection but they are in the correct part of the Museum for the 109 or Spook - the Beau is in the adjacent bay - the Vulcan is next door in the former Bomber Command Hall and the Sunderland is in the now ruined former BOB hall.... the IWM Vulcan is probably easier to scan (ie its nose is not up against a wall) the 109 is pretty original - the and may make sense... but there are quite a few scannable Spey Spooks, SWAM, Long Kesh and DX amongst others, the only other Beaus in the UK are at DX with TFC and The Museum of Flight in Scotland both being under restoration... given where they are photographed a 109 or Spook seem to make most sense. Given HK like BIG models and have kitted a lot of stuff never done in the larger scales my money is on the 'Toom.. but wouldn't rule out a Beau however IIRC the interior is as empty as their Beaufort... TT

Thanks folks, very kind and much appreciated 🫡

I mean, instead of the prop being at 90 degrees or 45 degrees which I usually do the fact that the top blade is at about 15 degrees looks great as it looks like it has just shut down- it’s a compliment not a criticism- you don’t see that very often!

What a fabulous creation, execution and concept - clever display of the poster too - well done! TT
